beauty. craft. life

Whether your recipient is familiar to skincare or not…this is a great gift to give anyone. Facial steams are skincare, aromatherapy and relaxation all in one cute little bundle.

Depending on the ingredients, you can do let focus on skin, relaxation, health or all of the above!

Supplies

Coffee filters (I recommend the largest size)

Wrapping paper

String

Dried herbs, essential oils (you can use fresh herbs if using it immediately. But best to use dried since it sits better)

My two favorite combos right now are

Rose, Lavender and Geranium: great for anti-aging

Chrysanthemum, Honeysuckle and Frankincense: great for trouble skin

First fold the coffee filter three times and cut to desire “petal” shape.

Unfold the coffee filter and fill the center with the desired dried herbs. Pack as much as you can without over spilling. This is why I recommend using extra large coffee filters!

Tied the base of the “petals” together with the strong forming a cute little flower bundle.

Drop 4 drops of essential oil (if you want) to the center of the flower. That way the oil won’t break down the herbs.

Cut the wrapping paper slightly bigger than the coffee filter forming the similar “petal” shapes. Wrap around the flower bundle creating the outer petals of the flower. Tie with tightly with string.

Remember to attach a little card telling stating what is inside each flower bundle. AND remind them to remove the wrapping paper to use.

How to use these adorable Facial Steam Flowers?

Remove the outer wrapping. Put the flower in a heat safe medium size bowl. Prepare a large towel nearby. Carefully pour hot water into the bowl. Put the large towel over your head to trap the steam. Carefully without burning yourself, place your face above the bowl to catch the steam coming out from it. Allow the Facial Steam for 10 to 15 minutes. And that’s it!

You can even save the water afterwards up to a week as a facial spray or toner!

Hi thank you for stopping by!
My name is Emily and I am a 28 year old acupuncturist with way too many obsessions. This blog is really a place where I would love to share my obsessions with other like-minded individuals. I know most people describe what they like to do on their free time as hobbies but once I am interested I just dive right in. Obsession or fanatic just describe it more accurately.
So what is it that I am obsessed with? Let’s see… I LOVE skin care! I had struggled with various stages of horrible skin (read about my skin story here) so I love finding new products. One of my dreams to create my own skincare line to help as many people as possible!
Oh and Hello Kitty to the point it makes you nauseous. I believe some people actually think I live in a Hello Kitty house. Although that does not seem like a bad idea….
In whatever free time I have, I am crafting. I really try to DIY everything possible, even if it means it becomes a nightmare (which happens too often). My favorite craft activities include jewelry making, scrapbooking, making polymer clay figurines and DIY home décor.
I feel like DIY and cooking goes hand-in-hand with each other. I like eating out and trying new food. But I love trying to re-create it at home with my own twist. It just gives me so much satisfaction to cook a nice meal. As an acupuncturist I may insert a few Chinese Medicine food tips here and there but mostly will be contained on my professional page here.
I also have grey tabby kitten name Mew Mew and Holland Lop rabbit name Toffee. They both don’t like to sit still for pictures but on those rare occasions they do, they will grace my instagram.
